Feature: What's In a Name?
March 1, 2004
Madeline Stuart agrees. “My name is not attached to my furniture
because I think people should kneel down at the altar of my design sensibility,”
she says. “I’m designing good furniture and it might as well say John Doe
collection, because it’s just as viable without my name. Conversely, because my
name is attached, I feel a responsibility to the showrooms to promote it. So I’m
out there flogging the bushes to rouse people to pay attention and be aware of
my line, and I hope that attachment signifies a certain level of taste.”
